- 2 cups trimmed watercress
- 1 small head radicchio, cored and chopped (about 2 cups)
- 1/2 fennel bulb, thinly sliced

- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Method
Peel oranges, slice them into 1/4-inch rounds and then cut the rounds in half to form half-moon shapes.
Transfer to a bowl and add arugula, watercress, radicchio, fennel, and onions and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine oil, vinegar, orange juice, salt and pepper and drizzle over the greens.
Toss well, being careful not to overmix or bruise the greens.
Form a pile of the greens in the center of the salad plates.
Place orange segments around the salads and shave 3 to 4 large pieces of Pecorino Pepato over the greens. Serve immediately.
